The Tilles Park Neighborhood Association will be hosting a candidate forum on Tuesday, May 30. Jo Mannies, of the Post-Dispatch, will serve as moderator. Labels: Events
The forum is for candidates in August State Auditor and 4th District State Senate races. Organizers say the following candidates have already RSVPed: State Auditor candidates Jack Jackson (R-Wildwood), Charles W. Baum (L-University City), and John W. Loudon (R-Chesterfield). And state senate candidates Jeff Smith, Derio Gambaro, Kenneth Jones, and Amber Boykins.
We are told that Auditor candidate Mark Wright (R-Springfield) sent word he will not be able to participate. Organizers say that despite repeated follow-up attempts, all other candidates did not respond.
The event starts at 7 p.m. and will be at the St. Louis Police Officers Association Hall, 3710 Hampton. It is open to the public.
The Tilles Park Neighborhood is located in the southwest part of the City and is bordered by Southampton, St. Louis Hills, Lindenwood, Clifton Heights, Southwest Garden, and Kingshighway Hills neighborhoods. Most of the Tilles Park Neighborhood is located in the 23rd Ward but there are some households in the 10th and 24th wards.

This will be good place to guage how many votes Smith can take from Gambaro's base. Tilles Park is a fairly conservative Southwest City neighborhood. If Smith can win the minds and hearts of voters here, he'll win over the entire 4th State Senate District.
